Survivor of the Battle of the Bulge, 1st LT Army Corps of Engineers. My Hero. He will be 86 in 2 more weeks and would answer the call if needed.

http://www.dragtimes.com/ The mustangs are all over this site. We have some fast turbo buicks here on the brotherhood. Post them for the world to see.

Ok, I thought I was done. I hit the 11's with this run in the 1/8 last Sunday. 1.581 60' 7.343 ET 93.86 MPH It was the first real time to the track with the new Turbo (CPT65 BB), since I fixed my FP problem. I ran 28# boost on that run. Look at my combo and see if you can help me...

Check out my combo. My Question is if I go to a 4" MAF pipe and larger MAF sensor will there be any gains or are my stock heads the bottle neck ? Currently running a 3" maf pipe and 3"Impala MAF sensor. My turbo inlet is 4" . Thanks

Since I have been running high boost I have had to change my oil about every 300-500 miles because it gets black. I changed it today after running it at the drags on Sunday and after 70 miles and 6 WOT runs it aleady has a non clean look to it. My oil pressure is fine. Have any of you done...

I took the 86 Grand National to the track today hoping for a new personel best. My wife drove the 05 GTO. I paid for both of them to race just in case. When the 05 GTO had 536 miles I ran 8.6 in the 1/8 and I figured now that I had 4,400 miles on it it should be quicker. I had the GN cooling...

I don't mean to make a production out of this but I am so happy right now. I have arrived at my goal. I bought my GN new in 1986 and we have had our ups and downs. The honeymoon was in 1987 when I was destroying the competion on 16#boost going only 8.8 in the 1/8 mile. The bad times were...

Well I finaly have my 86' GN running strong and consistant. It took 2 yrs of build up to reach this point. I just noticed that when I start it up a cloud of blue smoke comes out the exhaust. Also if I blip the throttle off idle I can see some blue from the exhaust. Not like I am spraying for...

I have been doing a bulid up on my original owner 1986 GN over the last year. I have done all the work my self except the trans swap. My combo is this: Stock block and heads, valve covers never been off. CPT65 50# inj LT-1 MAF precision front mount Aluminum RAD w/ ramcharger fans reds...

I had the trans out today and found what the horendice noise was. All 6 bolts on the flywheel to crankshaft were "very loose". I had the last fly wheel replaced by a local trans shop and when I told him what I found he said "that's what you get from so much torque." I bet he never torqued them...

The familiar noise turned out to be the flywheel. This time I think it is cracked in the center section. I have a new JW lightweight Steel SFI wheel coming this week. I talked to PTS about the discussion on shimming the 9X11 Conveter and They said not to shim it with the 200R4 Trans.

I got home from work this morning @ 7:30 Am. I slept for 3 1/2 hrs and headed for the dragstrip. It was hailing and raining when I left the house but the track is 30 mile from the house so I hoped for the best. When I arrived at the strip it was cloudy but dry, They opened the gates for racing...

I got the GN running good enough to pull it out of the garage and put the other 10X 15 Gbody wheel and 275-60-15 MT Street Radial on. The driver sides doesn't rub at all but the passenger side rubs all the time. I have the original rear shocks on the rear (135K). Do you think new shocks will...

We have a new daily driver 2005 GTO automatic. Phantom black. I felt like this was the GN of 2005 and as ugly as it seems now it will age with time, and get much faster as the after market stuff comes out;)

I never had a garage for my 1986 GN that I bought new. Two years ago we had a horrendis ice srorm here in NC. When I woke up in the morning I looked out side and my heart was in my throat. I lost 20 % of the timber off my land to this storm and almost lost my GN. My wife and I bought a saw...

My GN is laid up waiting for my new turbo but I went to watch the street cars run @ Piedmont 1/8 mile Test and Tune today. Here is some of the ET's I rememmber for some cars. 4 Cobras not sure of the years but I think 1 was an older one and the other three were new ones. The older one ran a...

I saw then on a vender's site but I can't rememmber where. They looked like they would work for burnouts at the drags real well. Anyone know who was selling them?

Here is a pic of the wheel and tire on the car.

The wheels are killer thanks! Here is a comparison from the Stock 7" GN wheel with a 265X50X15 and a Bweavy (G-Body parts) 10" wide custom GN wheel with a MT ET 275X60X15 Street Radial.
